Chapter 38 Treasure Appraisal 3

To be honest, let Zhuang Rui Jianbao simply drive the ducks on the shelves, which is a little difficult.

Zhuang Rui and Uncle De have been in contact with each other for a long time. Knowing the antique industry, it doesn't mean that you can read more books and know some theoretical knowledge to roll up your arms. This requires daily accumulation and a lot of contact with physical objects, but even so, you will often be fooled.

As the saying goes, "golden antiques in troubled times", every time antiques become popular, there are more fakes.

In modern China, the early years of the Republic of China were a prosperous period for antiques. At that time, Sun Dianying, Zhang Zongchang and other warlords successively excavated the tombs of Kangxi, Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi, and unearthed a large number of precious cultural relics. In addition, Puyi and others supervised Time folk collections are booming, and even many foreign speculators have come to China to buy cultural relics, and counterfeiting antiques also became popular at that time. Zhang Daqian, a famous painter, is a master of counterfeiting. His imitation of Shi Tao's paintings are difficult to distinguish between true and false, which can be said to be unique.

In the following ten years, there have been a series of disasters and chaos on the land of China. Although there are still very few people who are concerned about protecting some precious national treasures, people can't even eat at that time. Who else takes these things as treasures? During this period, a large number of precious cultural relics have been lost overseas, which also makes Japan Later, some domestic experts were heartbroken.

In the 1990s, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew all over China, people's living standards were also improving day by day, entertainment and cultural life was gradually enriched, and the popularity of antique art that had been withdrawn from people's eyes for nearly half a century began to heat up slowly. By the end of the century, the number of people who loved It is soaring. The amount of transactions in domestic auction houses in a year is more than billions, not to mention that most of the high-quality products are sold abroad.

Marx once said: "With 10% of the profit, the capital is ready to move; with the 100% profit, the capital is forgotten; and with the 300 percent profit, the gallows can be done."

Seeing that the antique industry is so hot, many criminals are also moved. Those grave robbers who have been silent for more than half a century have also re-employed in their old business, and some people with unique skills simply start to make the old. For a while, all kinds of fake antiques flowed into the market, and the old counterfeiters are smart Fake and true, that is, some well-edented experts often spread things about losing their eyes.

Mr. Ma Weidu, a famous folk collector, once said that in the early 1980s, in various waste furniture stores in the capital, there were tables, chairs and benches such as sandalwood and yellow pears piled up everywhere. It was also cheap. It cost five yuan a piece, pick it casually, and was also responsible for delivering goods to your Finally, in the early 1990s, the antique market was full of fakes, and Mr. Ma also paid a lot of tuition fees, which showed that the level of those counterfeiters was high.

The reason why Zhuang Rui knows this is thanks to Yang Wei. Yang's father is an antique enthusiast, so he calls him a enthusiast rather than a collector, because he has collected a lot of things in the past ten years. He has piled up a room full of money, and millions have been thrown into it.

However, to be honest, Yangfu's professional appreciation level is really not very good, but he especially likes to go to the market to pick up leaks. After accumulating them up, the collected items are also quite considerable. But later, he invited several experts to his home to identify it, but found that one room None of the miscellaneous antiques are real.

I don't know if he doesn't care about this little money or has a good mentality. Yangfu didn't give up this hobby, but he has rarely appeared in the antique market since then, and he has obviously appeared in the auction house more times. However, he is also famous in the antique industry in Zhonghai, and he feels that he has made some People with level often go to Yang's house, and this old man also spreads some eye-catching anecdotes from time to time.

He often walks by the river, and there are no wet shoes. Even those who have been rolling in this industry for decades often look away. Naturally, Zhuang Rui will not feel that he has read a few antique books at home a few days ago, and he can tell whether the objects piled up on the table are true or false. What he relies on is still these eyes But what he has to do now is to find an object that can be seen through the eyes, and then judge whether it is genuine or a fake by whether there is aura in it.

Most of the things taken out by Boss Wang and Song Jun are bronze or jade. There is no way to see through the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes. Now he turns to the side of Manager Lv and looks at it carefully.

There were only three objects in front of Shopkeeper Lv. Seeing Zhuang Rui coming, Shopkeeper Lv got up and gave up his position to facilitate Zhuang Rui's identification. Xu Wei, who was sitting next to Shopkeeper Lv, also exaggeratedly moved the chair under the seat to the side and looked at Zhuang Rui with a playful face. In his eyes, How dare you offend Miss Qin? You must take this opportunity to teach this young man how to be a man.

Zhuang Rui didn't care about Xu Wei's eyes. His current attention was attracted by the three objects in front of him. Zhuang Rui first picked up a wood carving of the water-sprinkling Guanyin statue about 20 centimeters high and observed it. He couldn't see what kind of wood carving was used, but the shape of the wood carving was very The surface of the wood carving is quiet. Holding it in my hand, I only feel that it is smooth and pleasant, and the pulp color is thick, revealing a warm old atmosphere, giving people a sense of vicissitudes.

In the past few days, Zhuang Rui has also read some books about antique appreciation. According to the introduction in the book, with this wood carving and pulp, it should be an old object for some years. However, compared with his level of appreciation, Zhuang Rui is still willing to believe his eyes and bowed his head slightly. Zhuang Rui will The aura in his eyes was released on the wood carving.

"Damn..."

After taking back the aura, Zhuang Rui couldn't help swearing in his heart. The aura in his eyes can only penetrate less than a centimeter of wood products, but as long as there is a aura in this thing, it can still be absorbed. But after the aura enters, the wood carving has no reaction at all, making Ben Zhuang Rui, who wanted to add some aura, was disappointed. Although Zhuang Rui was not sure that the object without Reiki must be fake, he also chose to believe in the aura in his eyes.

Looking up, Zhuang Rui looked at the wood carving in his hand and said, "This wood carving Guanyin image is finely carved, and the pulp is thick, like an old thing..."

"Of course, this Buddha statue must be authentic from carving to pulp. I can see it without having to hold it in my hand."

Before Zhuang Rui's words fell, he was interrupted by Xu Wei next to him. Xu Wei had also been observing the wood carving, and he also believed in his heart that it was a real product. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he couldn't help mocking Zhuang Rui for his good luck and picked up a bargain.

Looking at Xu Wei faintly, Zhuang Rui ignored him and continued, "However, I personally think this thing was made old later. To put it bluntly, this object is a fake."

As soon as he said this, except for the shopkeeper Lv's motionless appearance, everyone was shocked. Xu Wei's face turned red and looked at the shopkeeper Lv, hoping that he could refute it.

"Xiaozhuang, there are still two objects there. You can also take a look..."

To everyone's surprise, Manager Lv didn't say much, but asked Zhuang Rui to comment on the remaining two items.
